i mean thats the first thing you see of an enemy tank in that situation and the shot that 100% guarantees he cant shoot you. in any hilly terrain youre automatically disadvantaged in the t90 (unless its very slight hills with not too much gradient) even more so if the other guy has the high ground, bc he can see you first while the first thing you can see of him at all is his gun looking at you. its basically the same if your roles were reversed. just wiglle wiggle wiggle wiggle until you know you are in position to hit him back or if you feel confident shoot with cursor on his breech area from 3rd person bc that generally lets you get the shot off earlier than in gunner view. But then again, you might get trolled by the infamous russian gun depression while pushing over the hill (which again, generally is a bad idea in russian tanks if the enemy knows youre there and anticipates you pushing him).
And around a corner you play the peekaboo game until you can at least track him because he can’t reverse and work from there.
Damn, i already have all upgrades to new T-90M
This happens when I make a mistake or overextend, because practically any tank looking down at a Russian MBT will spot the turret roof and gun before I spot them; then, when they break my breech and move in for the kill, I simply bail out and come back for revenge.
“which massively relies on the enemies pushing you being braindead.”
You have heard of the average WT playerbase?..
That happens to any tank having the low ground. And lots of them have their first stage ammo in the back of the turret, which is then free to hit without the need to expose to return fire. But due to the much better gun depression on any tank thats not russian or chinese, in their mbts it can happen to you in a lot more places on the maps. All you can do then is go even further towards the hill hoping that at one point even they dont have enough gun depression to push over the hill, in general leaving you in an even more passive position, with wider angles to get pushed from and unable to stop enemies from closing in to swarm you.
But yeah overextending is the biggest danger when playing the t90m, you gotta embrace playing more controlled and not on the frontline or retreat as soon as you run out of allies.
Exactly, you’ve hit on an interesting pointsomething many players don’t grasp about the T-90M if you see your team dying on the minimap (am I the only one who checks it constantly?), you have to fall back. Even though you can take a beating and hold off an advance, you aren’t invincible; the prudent move is to retreat. Still, it’s a fantastic tank my favorite.
I like it very much as well. Cant wait to get the new one since i was on holidays and just came back. Stabilized commander sight with gen 3 thermals, tons of smokes and lws slaps.
And yes retreating when necessary can be such an effective tool. Enemies get overconfident, you make them run into the sightlines your allies are covering, enemies are leaving cover and good positions, its just awesome. If you watch ccs that play on top of the foodchain they constantly monitor at what point they will have to retreat. How often do you sit on a position holding sightlines but you cant help allies that are just getting into more and more difficult situations just because they only know one direction to move in, instead of luring enemies into being shot from their allies or the flanks?
I haven’t even considered getting the new T-90M.
Part of me would rather do 50 pushups and likely completely wreck my already fucked up arm irl permanently than play the T-90M again.
If you have to massively alter your playstyle and reduce your overall impact on the game to make a tank work it’s not a good tank. That makes it okay at best.
Could be a little bit faster like in this video
When are we getting the T90M2?
Can we get a NATO teams steam rolling Russian teams thread / meme now? Apparently it’s pretty bad right now.
Would love to see a T-80UM3
Someday.

What sources does gaijin use to let abrams reload in 5 seconds
probably when proof of one being fully built is published, ideally with pictures.
So I’ve not played the VT4A1 and I can see why people have argued it’s just as bad as the T-90M, but aside from the VT4A1 it’s the worst 12.7 in the game.
T-90M in a nutshell:
- 1/10 firepower.
- 1/10 mobility.
- 5/10 gun handling.
- 9/10 armour.
- 5/10 survivability.
I’ve also noticed you don’t even play the T-90M, so I’m not sure why you’re arguing these points?
- Ariete PSO and Ariete WAR are 11.7, not 12.7.
- Ariete AMV is 12.3, not 12.7, and has significantly better mobility and firepower than a T-90M.
- Challenger 2, 2 (2F), 2 TES and 2 OES are 11.7, not 12.7.
- Challenger 3 TD is 12.0, not 12.7.
- Challenger 2E has significantly better mobility and firepower than a T-90M.
- Black Night has an APS that can actually intercept APFSDS at average combat ranges, and still has better all around mobility and a quicker reload.
You’d have a point if the T-90M were 12.0, but it isn’t 12.0.
Reload is in a weird situation. On one hand Gaijin has admitted to use reload as a balancing tool, yet at the same time they seem to want to back up controversial reload changes with a lot of sources.
They should just pick one and go with that.
The also selectively deploy said reasoning to reach a foregone conclusion, can’t for get that the M1128 gets a 8 RPM loader even though sources exist for a 10 RPM configuration (even though the TCS with a similar system achieves 12RPM ) Especially now that the T-series get cyclic rammer rates, instead of needing to account for the layout of the cassette.
This all started with the increased rate of the Abrams, which was a mistake. They should have fixed the armor and assorted issues instead.
Don’t worry it’ll be the worst once decompression happens and the OP beast that is the VT4A1 gets moved to 13.3
